Jags couldn't go wrong with that pick, both would've been good value picks at positions of needQuote:

lol exactly what I said. But Moreno is a talent. Ayers with the 18th I'm happy with.Quote:

Cleveland sure likes to trade this 1st rounder. 3rd time they've traded it.
I think Ayers will be a Pro Bowler, and better than Orakpo. Had they grabbed Everette Brown at 12 instead of Moreno (they are moving to a 3-4 right?), I'd have them as my top Round 1 winner. As a Philip Rivers fan, though, I'm glad they didn'tQuote:

Maclin, don't know much about him. A surprise for the Eagles to get a WR 1st.
He seems similar to Jackson, which isn't a bad thing. We've got big receivers in Baskett and Avant.

that guy was the broncos leading rushers last year ... He's white ... that's generally a bad sign.
B/c they had about 5 or 6 get injured after playing just 1 or 2 games...and they signed 3 free agent RBsQuote:

not entirely sure how that is AT ALL related but okQuote:

But he didn't...for some reason they grabbed Moreno. But hey, we got 8 more picks.
Beanie Wells just ended Edge's Cardinals career.
everette brown & rey maualuga as 2nd round picks are steals
Yesyesyesyesyes. Draft Robinson or Brown, Rusk! You know you want to!
Well I'm really glad that pick happened.Quote:

Broncos trade up to 37 I thought maybe they would grab Brown or Maualuga but instead they take a decent corner in Alphonso Smith.
Hopefully Smith pans out to play the other side of the field with Bailey.
Ahahahahahaha!! The Broncos are so stupid!
mcdaniels is showing how not to win over fans as a 1st year coach
Rey finally is off the board, going to Cincy.
wow, jags with tackles in 1st & 2nd picks
Mcdaniels, like Belichick and Parcells doesn't give a **** about the fans.Quote:

I hope Smith turns into that first round pick we would have had next year.
I just hope that the broncos suck real bad next year.Quote:

wow, pat white at 44
Well, he sure fits the Wildcat.
Pats Drafted
Patrick Chung S/Oregon at 34
Ron Brace DT/BC at 40
Darius Butler CB/UConn at 41
We should have drafted Rey and Everette Brown:mad:
Curry at 4 and a first round pick next year seems like a good day
Could get a replacement for Hasselbeck next year.
Add Max Unger to your listQuote:

Do the Raiders even know how to draft?Quote:

2024 Raiders: A return to respectability!
Panthers traded next year's first to get Brown in the 2nd as well (also got a 4th this year from the Niners too)
The Panther's thinking: Every year just trade next years' first rounder for a pick this year :p
The Chiefs need to trade up and get a 2nd
Fighting with Denver?Quote:

Sure, first round for second round doesn't sound as good but the draft is an entire crapshoot. The Broncos should land upper middle first round again (11-15 most likely) and anything the Seahawks draft there could bust.
The Moreno pick is questionable because it was not a need based pick but a "best available talent that McDaniels liked" pick. Sure, anyone would have loved Everette Brown or Cushing or Maualuga or someone but honestly, getting a playmaker in the backfield isn't HORRIBLE. Especially considering we didn't have a consisten playmaker last year.
Even barring injury the Broncos backfield wasn't that big of a playmaking backfield (didn't need to be with Cutler, Marshall, and Royal) but now without Cutler the backfield needs to be the base and with Moreno (if he pans out) it can add a huge weapon out of the backfield.
Orton isn't a big play quarterback even with weapons in Marshall and Royal and improving the backfield was neccessary, albeit NOT A PRIORITY in the first round.
The Broncos addressed many needs after the Moreno pick but I don't see it as even close to what the Raiders did.
Chiefs shouldve drafted Curry.
Looks like King Carl disease is starting
Super happy about Seattle's day. Unger, future first & Curry. Even if all 3 of these picks somehow bust, you can't blame Seattle's thinking.
I would say though that the Raiders easily had the worst day. Both picks were HUGE reaches. Even if you buy in to the Raiders knowing more about these players than we do why couldn't they have just traded down? Those guys would've been on the board much later.
Yeah, I was a little puzzled by the 2nd rounder.Quote:

I didn't stick around to watch much of the 2nd round, but I'm sure they got 2 other quality picks as well.
How did Detroit do in your opinion?
